Meat prices drop but set to rise next spring
Meat prices have fallen to multi year lows with pork at 1.62 per pound in October and beef 2.32 per pound for choice cuts. Analysts warn prices should rebound early next year as drought, feed costs and herd liquidations tighten supplies. Consumers are urged to buy and freeze, and to use proper freezing methods and the USDA hot line for guidance.
